The subject property is located at 250 Windswept Way Osterville, MA as shown on Assessor’s Map 051 Parcel 012. It is located in the Residence F-1 (RF-1) Zoning District and Resource Protection Overlay District (RPOD). Continued from April 27, 2022 and May 25, 2022 The Board received a request from Attorney Ford to withdraw the application. Jake Dewey makes a motion to withdraw the appeal without prejudice. Paul Pinard seconds. Vote: Aye: Jake Dewey, David Hirsch, Paul Pinard, Herb Bodensiek, Mark Hansen Nay: Appeal No. 2022-018 Holian Family Realty Trust is withdrawn without prejudice. New Business 7:02 PM Appeal No. 2022-030 Bisbano/Bank of America Bruce W. Bisbano has petitioned for a Variance from Section 240-103 E. (3) Site Development Standards. The Petitioner, who is representing Bank of America, seeks a variance to allow the proposed lighting to trespass beyond the property boundary exceeding the 0.1 foot candle. The subject property is located at 3840 Falmouth Road, Marstons Mills, MA as shown on Assessor’s Map 058 as Parcel 039-002. It is located in the Service and Distribution (S&D) Zoning District. Sitting on this will be Jake Dewey, David Hirsch, Paul Pinard, Herb Bodensiek, and Mark Hansen. Mr. Bisbano addresses the Board to explain that this project is part of an overall Bank of America security program that’s happening across the country. The bank has a condition to provide adequate lighting and security, which they’ve determined to have at least 2-foot candles of light within 50 feet of any ATM or entrance. This would require the addition of some light fixtures and replacement of others. Everything will be LED, 4,000 kelvin light temperatures so it’s not whit e light. The light will be encroaching into the sidewalk and the street. Chair Dewey brings it back to the Board for questions. Herb Bodensiek asks for a frame of reference for a 2-foot candle of light. Mr. Bisbano explains that emergency lighting that leads to exits in commercial buildings when the lights go out is typically 1-foot candle of light, so it’s double that. A typical office space would be between 20-30-foot candles. 2-foot candles are minimal. Chair Dewey opens for public comment. There is none. He makes a motion to close public comment. Mark Hansen seconds. Vote: Aye: Jake Dewey, David Hirsch, Paul Pinard, Herb Bodensiek, Mark Hansen Nay: Chair Dewey makes findings: Bruce W. Bisbano has petitioned for a Variance from Section 240-103 E. (3) Site Development Standards. The Petitioner, who is representing Bank of America, seeks a variance to allow the proposed lighting to trespass beyond the property boundary exceeding the 0.1 foot candle. The subject property is located at 3840 Falmouth R oad, Marstons Mills, MA as shown on Assessor’s Map 058 as Parcel 039-002. It is located in the Service and Distribution (S&D) Zoning District. 1. owing to circumstances related to soil conditions, shape, or topography of such land or structures and especiall y affecting such land or structures but not affecting generally the zoning district in which it is located; He finds that the way the structure is positioned on the lot differentiates it from other lots in the area and if it were built today, it could be positioned differently. 2. a literal enforcement of the provisions of the zoning ordinance would involve substantial hardship, financial or otherwise to the petitioner; and It would be a substantial hardship to move the building to meet their security needs. 3. desirable relief may be granted without substantial detriment to the public good and without nullifying or substantially derogating from the intent or purpose of the zoning ordinance. The intent here is to make the building and the area safer, and it’s a bu sy road and business area so is well-lit anyway. Mark Hansen seconds. Vote: Aye: Jake Dewey, David Hirsch, Paul Pinard, Herb Bodensiek, Mark Hansen Nay: Chair Dewey reads that the appeal is subject to conditions 1-4 from Staff Report dated June 9, 2022. The applicant is amenable. Vote: Aye: Jake Dewey, David Hirsch, Paul Pinard, Herb Bodensiek, Mark Hansen Nay: Appeal No. 2022-030 Bisbano/Bank of America is granted with conditions.
